My 18 mo old son loves to press the Home button. That means whenever I give him an app to play with, he exits out of the app by pressing the Home button. Now he's free to flick the screens and sometimes I've caught him at the "delete this app?" phase.

So is there a way to disable the Home button and/or disable the wiggle&delete functionality (maybe in iOS 4 due out this summer)? There should be Childproof settings next to Accessibility settings!

I have looked everywhere for an app like this and can't believe that no one has created a way to keep little fingers from pushing the wrong button. If ther home button can't be "locked down" how about needing to double or triple push it to move away from specific apps? IE Elmo video to my email??!!
